What you get with the Galaxy S26
The S26 is for people who want a true flagship that fits easily in one hand and in any pocket. You get the same screen quality, Galaxy AI and update promise as the bigger S26 phones, in a lighter body.
A compact 120Hz screen
The 6.3-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display adjusts from 1Hz to 120Hz to save battery and reaches 2,600 nits in bright sunlight. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects it.
Samsung Exynos 2600
In Kenya and most of the world, the S26 uses Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip. It runs games, video editing and Galaxy AI tools smoothly. With 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it has room to grow.
Flagship cameras
The 50MP main camera is joined by a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, so you can take sharp portraits and get closer to the action. The 12MP front camera records 4K video.
Battery and updates
The 4,300mAh battery supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. The S26 launched on Android 16 with One UI 8.5, and Samsung supports it with updates until 2033.
